Dottie Apparel & Workwear
Dottie gloves and shoe covers give workers a decent amount of protection, cleanliness, and comfort when they are out in factories, construction sites, or around electrical panels. The materials are solid enough to keep dirt and hazards away, but they also stay flexible enough to use. Dottie meets the real needs of field techs, electricians, and maintenance crews, who want gear that lasts and is easy to handle every day.
The gloves come in a range of materials—latex, nitrile, vinyl, even fabric blends—that aim to guard hands from scrapes, oil, and other messes while still letting the fingers move. They promise a strong grip and a comfortable feel for tasks like tightening bolts, wiring, or just general repairs.
The shoe covers Dottie makes are light yet sturdy, which appears to keep dust, mud, and small spills from moving between areas. They’re used in spots like data centers, electrical rooms, or finished construction sites where a clean floor matters a lot. The design lets workers slip them on quickly and pull them off with little hassle, adding convenience.
FAQs
Are Dottie gloves suitable for electrical work?
Yes. Dottie sells gloves made especially for electricity. There are light‑electric gloves that follow ASTM 1310 for low‑voltage up to 1 kV, and heavy‑duty insulated gloves that meet OSHA’s ASTM 95 for over 35 kV.
Do Dottie gloves have a good grip?
Grip is a big part of Dottie’s design. Many gloves have textured palms, tiny beads or silicone coatings that keep friction even when things get oily, wet or cold. This helps stop tools slipping and can reduce strain injuries. For jobs that need the most pull, like rigging or pipe fitting, Dottie even sells a “grip‑max” version with an extra polymer layer.
What are Dottie shoe covers made of?
Most shoe covers are built from spun‑bond polypropylene, a light non‑woven fabric that lets air through but still blocks dust. Some heavy‑duty versions add a thin polyethylene layer for extra protection against mud, oil or chemicals.
Can Dottie shoe covers be reused?
The bulk of the covers are designed for one shift only and are tossed after use. There is, however, a small line of stronger covers that can be washed and used again. These have reinforced seams and a thicker base, letting them survive many rounds of tough chemicals without tearing, which can save money for places that need a lot of foot protection.
How do the covers fit big boots?
Each cover has an elastic cuff made from a spandex blend. It stretches enough to fit steel‑toe boots, big work shoes or even oversized trainers without ripping. The stretch is planned to hold the cover on tight while still being easy to pull on and take off, a feature that Dottie says they tested with real users.
